Flirting with Femininity

Spring always reminds me of being a teenager. I wanted so much to be grown and in charge of my life! I was learning about boy/girl relationships, how I liked to dress, how I felt when I wore Kissing Potion…. yeah, remember that sticky sweet lip gloss… bubble-gum flavor! Yeah! I remember the angst of […]

Blessings at Imbolc

Brigid is coming. Her gentle caress across the land stirs creatures and plants from slumber. Her warm fires thaw the ice, the cold water trickles into the earth.

Autumn Smolder

A little check in with the Tarot…. I spent last year writing a book. (Still needs the rewrite and to be published…. but WRITTEN!) I am so pleased with myself. I had an essay published, a poem too. I have dedicated my time to this website and expanding La Bona Dea. I am a Sag. […]

Independent with the Blessing of Bast

WHAT IS THAT CAT DOING HERE? I am full of talk, and I do like to have my way, but being independent is not one of my strong suits. I prefer to be the boss sometimes, that way I feel independent, but I am with the crowd. Bast came to visit me as did the […]

Time to Network

At our last gathering of Manifesting with the Divine, my meditation led me toward networking. Yikes! That is scary for me, even though I talk…. a lot, it is tough for me to go out and to talk about me. What I do and who I am, and why I am. Hm. How can I […]

Focus,Focus, Summer Solstice!
